Beschrijving

Caltagirone, a historic hill town in eastern Sicily, is world-famous for its hand-painted ceramics that blend everyday function with centuries of artistry. In this episode, we explore how local clay, mineral pigments, and patient craftsmanship come together in vibrant maiolica pieces shaped and painted by family workshops. From the iconic Scalinata di Santa Maria del Monte to intimate studio benches, discover the history, techniques, and living culture behind Caltagirone ceramics—and why these objects are more than decoration: they are usable memories of Sicily
